They said "yes". The pregnancy/growth hormones precipitated the growth of the cyst (which grew throughout my pregnancy, but was monitored). I called it Oscar and it caused me no end of sharp stabbing pain for a long time. Had Oscar removed 6months after giving birth.

Yes, Oscar the Ovarian Cyst. I had thought of calling DS Oscar (before I got PG), but that night I went to hospital they did an ultrasound and saw Oscar (the size of an orange) and DS (the size of a coffee bean). I called him Bean from there on. His name is now U**** A******** B R*******. The "B" is for Bean. The registar was a bit .

If the pain doesn't go in the next couple of days I would make an appointment to see your doctor. You can then be referred and get an ultrasound done.

I've recently found out after going for an ultrasound that I have a cyst on my right ovary. As it's bigger than 5cm it will probably need to be removed. I have had some pain this month during my period and I believe this is being caused by the cyst.

I had a large chocolate cyst removed in April so was hoping there wouldn't be any more
